Sunset on a bench with a barbell technique exercises:
- Become straight, holding the barbell on your shoulders. Before you should be a small platform or horizontal bar. This will be your initial position.
- Put your right foot on the bench. Climb on the bench, shifting body weight on the foot during the climb out.
- On the inhale, slowly step back with your left foot, sinking to the floor. Put your right foot, returning to starting position.
- Repeat with the right foot the required number of repetitions, then do the exercise with the left foot.
Hint: this exercise is an alternative to the deadlift with straight legs for those people who can not perform traction because of problems with the lower back.
Variations: just like lunges, this exercise can be performed serially, then right, then left foot. You can also use a dumbbell. Beginners can perform the exercise without weights, using only your own weight.
